Well, after nearly 5 years of planning and preparing we have executed RAAM. I wish i had some eloquent way to bring this to closure, but i don't. i keep telling myself if i just wait one more day i'll somehow be able with words to describe the experience myself and 7 of my closest friends and family whet through...but i can't. We went into an amazing battle together and came out the other side better people for it. RAAM has a crazy way of showing you who you really are and how you deal with "life as it happens". While this is my last RAAM as a racer, i look forward to helping others embark on their RAAM adventures as i feel it is an amazing medium for discovering yourself and what lies within you. Until we meet again somewhere down the road....bp

Ben,
Big things like this just take time to process. Closure will happen, in time. Just keep talking about it. You've got a great support structure in your life that was also out there with you the whole time. The process is that much easier when you can all keep talking it out. It helps build perspective, and helps your mind process what you've been through. Big things are hard on the mind and spirit as well as the body, and you've just finished a big thing. Eventually it will all make sense, maybe just not right away.
